You can apply edited configuration files in either of two ways, as described below.

In JP1/Base version 9, if the processing fails, the configuration files on the agent are rolled back to their previous state.

Apply per host
You can apply edited configuration files to a particular host by performing either of the following:
  • In the node display area of the Display/Edit Profiles window, select the Apply check box next to Applied contents in the Saving/application area and then click the Execute button.
  • In the tree display area of the Display/Edit Profiles window, first make sure you have exclusive editing rights to the profiles. Then choose Operation, Save/Apply Profiles, and Apply by Reloading.
The following configuration files can be applied to a host:
  • Event forwarding setting file
  • Action definition file for log file trapping
  • Action definition file for event log trapping
  • Local action execution definition file

Apply to all hosts
You can apply edited configuration files to all hosts in the system hierarchy in one operation. To do so, on the Host List page or IM Configuration page of the IM Configuration Management window, choose Operation and then Batch Reflect Profiles.
The following configuration files can be applied in one operation with IM Configuration Management:
  • Event forwarding setting file
  • Action definition file for event log trapping
  • Local action execution definition file
In the Display/Edit Profiles window, you can check whether all the configuration files were successfully applied. If any file could not be applied or has Saved on the server status, the file is represented by an editing icon in the tree display area.
If there are no configuration files on the server, message KNAN22497-I appears and the file contents are not applied.
On the IM Configuration page of the IM Configuration Management window, you can check whether the configuration files were successfully applied to all the hosts. If any files could not be applied or have Saved on the server status, the affected host is represented by an error-status icon in the tree display area. To view further details, click the Basic Information button in the node display area.
